If you happen to be blessed with an extremely feminine child, gift shopping may at first seem easy. Every time you turn down a toy aisle, an array of sparkled skirts and pink accessories awaits you — so much so that you could just pick about anything and you know that as long as Barbie is on the package, you’re safe. But if you have a little girl who turns up her nose at sports and wants nothing more than a baby doll, your challenges as a parent are in fact tougher. Because even though an assortment of Bratz dolls and sexualizing dress up costumes may peek her interest, wading through what appeals to her femininity and what problematizes it can be a difficult call.
So here are some Mommyish-approved gifts that not only indulge her girly side, but also encourage her to become a veterinary, learn about history, tackle a new craft project, and maybe even start her own business — Barbie included.
“If you happen to be blessed with an extremely feminine child,”
So if your daughter isn’t into sparkly things and Barbie, she is low on femininity? I believe the term you want is “girly.” And a girly daughter is no more or less a blessing than a sporty one.
As far as I was aware, “feminine” and “girly” mean pretty much exactly the same thing: “in the manner of or pertaining to a girl”. For example, I’m not particularly feminine in a lot of ways, but it doesn’t mean I’m not a woman or that I don’t consider myself such.

Why is almost all of this pink and/or a miniature household item? I’d much rather give my girl neon green nail polish. Stop pushing girls int that cliche!
Because some girls like to play house. Because the author specified that this was for girly girls. Because while some people seem to be forcing the be whoever you want to be gender doesn’t matter poltiical correctness, a lot of us don’t mind if our girls actually do want to play with traditionally girly items.
hmm… i think the grammar is off in the headline… as “Presents For Your Girly Girl That Don’t Include Nail Polish Or Crotchless Thongs” is implying that the presents themselves don’t inlcude these things, when really its the selection/slideshow of presents which is free of gift suggestions for crotchless thongs and polish.
